I am currently studying in Delft (Construction Management and Engineering) for more than 5 years, previously lived in Huizen and am a member of Student Association C.S.R.-Delft.
I have actually been a Christian all my life and think that God has been working all my life to mold me into who I actually am. I learned about the “theoretical God” in church and at all kinds of clubs, youth clubs, etc. I actually decided even then that this God, Whom I learned is love, should become my God.
However, when I went to college I learned that God wants to be a Father not a detached God. Indeed he has always wanted that. I came to know God as a Person with whom we can have a relationship. I finally realized what it means that Jesus came to earth alive for us and paid for everything that stood between God and me!
I suddenly began to understand that God was asking more of me than my theoretical knowledge about Him. For He has a plan for the life of every person on this earth. This plan of God is genius. It’s incredibly complicated and sometimes I don’t understand it at all, but I have come to discover that in every situation it works out better than my plan and so I have resigned myself to this. I love having conversations with believers and non-believers about who God is and what he wants to do in our lives.
I want to encourage you as a Christian or non-Christian to (continue to) follow this plan. Although it is not always clear exactly where this plan will lead, it is fine to slowly make small steps. It is a choice every time to take the step, whether it is the thousandth or perhaps the first step ever with God.
I want to challenge you to (continue to) take this step. God never disappoints!
